I absolutely loved every character in the previous haunted house trilogy; the character development and plot development were both amazing! I have to give a shout-out to the new book! I'm especially looking forward to the rest of the story; Fang Jueming is so cute! ( ̄ω ̄ヘ)~ My vocabulary is limited, but I can only say it's incredibly captivating. Personally, I feel that Gou Dan (the author) has never had a bad ending, so you can follow it with confidence!
It's fair to say that Boss Zhuang is the most intelligent and composed male protagonist among the three books. Looking at the negative reviews, the general reason is that the protagonist is outmaneuvered by the villains. Considering the reading time is only one or two hours, these people have clearly read too many wish-fulfillment novels.
The author's style is the only first-person supernatural suspense novel I enjoy reading. I've been following every book since Chen Mo's, and her writing style has become increasingly mature 🍉. The only downside is that I always get caught up in other people's posts before the story is even finished 😢. I hope the author doesn't fall asleep and starts updating!
This is my first time writing a book review! I read three of Gou Dan's books in a month, and the timeline seems to be Li Mu—Chen Mo—Zhuang Yiming—Li Qi'an. Reading the author's books together is so interesting! Although each book tells a different story, the occasional cameos of predecessors in common places bring a little surprise to the reader.
I love Gou Dan's books. The stories are very realistic, depicting the contradictions and complexities of human life. Although they're said to be about the supernatural, they're actually about people. I wait for updates every day. The protagonist is always intelligent and talented! Haha, it's great, I love reading it, perfect score! It's very well-written and captivating.
So that's who Dog Egg's main account is! Turns out it's my favorite author, the author of "I Only Sell Haunted Houses," her writing is amazing! I love it so much, I can't stop reading. I love suspense and the supernatural. Keep it up, keep updating, 10,000 words a day! [Note] I came across a really fitting line (I fell in love with someone else on the way to save you).
As a long-time fan of the author, having read the first three books, I feel this one is even better. The protagonist is a rich guy, unlike the previous books where he was a manipulated working-class character. Moreover, this book feels more relaxed.
I've read three of Gou Dan's books, and this is the fourth! Every book is wonderful, with captivating plots and a touch of the supernatural. My only wish for this book is for it to be updated faster!! Why did the male lead change his name? What is it about Cao Siyao that Fang Jueming wants? ... Looking forward to it! (✧◡✧)
I've already followed three of Gou Dan's novels, and each one evokes a strong emotional resonance in readers. This one even made me cry in the middle of the night 😢😢😢. Also, there's Aunt Lin; I didn't really like her at first, but I completely fell in love with her later on. It's a pity the ending was tragic.
I feel this author's books are even on par with the top ten. The main and subplots are clearly defined, and the mysteries and plot holes are explained in a very reasonable and ingenious way. The main and supporting characters are very well-developed, and the humorous plots don't rely on internet slang, making them truly unforgettable.
